Ch 40

Ellen was at the table picking some food and Carlisle watched Edward throwing a ball to Patricia and her school friend. He noticed his worried look and Carlisle personally wasn´t feeling very comfortable either. Ellen must be really very perceiving. He tried not to look stuck because she really surprised him.

Luckily he could explain that easily by pointing at Edward´s major. A good psychologist should be able to tell what his patients think.

Ellen was watching Carlisle when he replied and he seemed nervous. Very nervous. She had no idea how she came up with the idea, she just did.

Some things were real secret to her but she could understand him and his feelings somehow. She could feel his uncertainty when she asked questions about Edward. What is Carlisle hiding?

She could see a plum cake and decided to take a piece of it. She used to eat this few years ago when her mum was baking it and she always loved it. This memory made her forget about the Cullens for some moment. When she looked back at her boyfriend, her thoughts returned.

This is definitely crazy. What could he hide? That is complete nonsense. Carlisle is right, Edward is just the right person for his job. He will be a good psychologist.

Edward was listening to Carlisle´s and Ellen´s thoughts and decided that he would have to be more careful when watching Ellen.

She is definitely a very perceiving person. How else could she understand Carlisle so much as a human. It is apparent that they both do guess each other´s thoughts and feelings. He was sure about that. Never mind that Ellen is still human. Bella was too and she was able to block her mind from him.

When Ellen is Carlisle´s mate, she must definitely have something special in her too. Or some special ability.

Patricia threw a ball on Edward and he missed it. He was too engaged in listening to the thoughts and analysing them that he forgot about Patty for a moment: „ Eddie? Look…you missed…."

He asked: „ What?..."

Then he turned for the ball: „ Sorry, princess…I was just….."

Bella came closer: „ thinking, right, love?"

He nodded: „ Exactly…..How are things going?"

„ Alice sent the text, everything is ready…we should move slowly…."

„Patty, please say good bye to yout friends, we´re leaving…."

She agreed and Edward came to tell this to Carlisle: „ We will wait for you outside at the car…."

Then he left. Ellen finished her meal and they were leaving the gym too.

She must have admit that it was a very pleasant met many people she knew and some of them were so nice.

They got to the cars and headed home. Patricia wanted to go in Edward´s car again so Ellen with Carlisle had some kind of private moments.

Ellen couldn´t help it but she felt kind of the wish to touch him under the T-shirt. She wanted to feel him skin on skin. She guessed that he must have a wonderful body, he mentioned he loved to spend time in the gym. Emmett had a small exercise room in the house including some of the work-out machines.

She desired to do it. When Edward drove home, Carlisle wanted to follow but Ellen stopped him by touching his hand on the wheel.

He watched her and when she moved a bit closer to him. He couldn´t resist. His lips longed for hers so badly. She laid her hands around his neck and didn´t care about anything else. Nobody could see them because of the car´s dark glass so she didn´t mind.

As they continued in passionate kissing she began moving her hands along his back. His were already touching her spine and she was shivering with every touch on her naked skin. He was gently opening her bra from behind touching her breasts gently and she desired to explore his muscles too. She began moving her hands and almost touched his skin. In her mind she was laughing because he was so properly dressed, it complicated her to remove the piece of shirt and the T-shirt and get to her fingers to feel his perfect skin and figure... Finally when she almost managed to do it, Carlisle realised what she is trying to do. He felt that he needs to stop her but couldn´t figure out a way how to do it. He didn´t want to hurt her... Definitely not. He´d rather tell the truth instead of making her unhappy.

Suddenly his phone began ringing like crazy which made Ellen jump away from him. She immediately smartened herself a second she looked as if nothing happened at all.

Ellen knew that Carlisle could have an important call from the hospital, she didn´t want to make him feel uncomfortable.

He picked up with relief: „Hi? ... Alice?...is anything wrong?"

Then he laughed: „ No, we didn´t forget…of course not…we didn´t get lost...we just...…"

He smirked at Ellen and talked back to the phone: „ OK, we´re on our way…."

He hang up and Ellen wanted to turn on the radio. She wanted to avoid the embarassing moment. He stopped her before she could start the music: „ Elly….."

She watched him: „ Yes?"

„Look at me please...You´re…..angry?"

„Angry? No….why?...nothing happened…."

„I wouldn´t say so…."

„ I think we should take a break now…..till we get home….."

She reached to the electronics and turned the radio on and she heard the word "Pause" in the stereo. It was her fave song by Pitbull. She couldn´t help but giggle. He didn´t get it and asked: „Is there anything wrong?"

Ellen replied giggling: „ Well, even Pitbull says we should pause….."

He got it: „ I see….everything and everyone is against us….."

„ Come on. Carlisle, it´s just a song….."

He hesitated first and then smiled: „ I know…..let´s go home, everyone thinks we got lost….."She agreed and leaned on the comfortable leather seat.

He finally drove to the house full of impatient people.

They arrived few minutes later and Patricia was the first in the garage: „ dad, what took you so long? Eddie wanted to search for you…"

Ellen hugged her: „ Patty, we needed to talk about something…."

Ellen was nicely surprised when she saw the living room changed in a place for party. They had their own dance floor ready. The stereo was playing songs and everyone seemed to be in a good mood. The close by table was full of junk food but this time Ellen didn´t mind. It was the last day of the year…..

Patricia went dancing with Emmett and Edward. They were making fun of her and Ellen couldn´t stop laughing. Patricia was having so much fun with them.

She reminded how silent she used to be when she was with her biological father. Now after two months she was a carefree happy girl again.

The Cullens made them both feel complete. Patricia found an amazing bunch of brothers and sisters willing to do everything possible.

Carlisle has become a close friend to her, a person she can trust and talk openly, and now also her dad.

Her little baby girl was finally happy and could enjoy her childhood.

The life in this house seemed like a dream. They are a real family, they hold together so much. They know how to make a person feel loved.

And she could only think of how much love they gave to her. They invited her in their house, in their lives and so easily they accepted the fact that she is in love with their father. Nobody had problems with this. She was a bit of worried but the result was more than surprising for her.

And Carlisle….the man who must have been coming to her from her childhood dreams. He was perfect,a true Prince Charming. He was always there for her, supported her, helped and in the end also became her soul mate. She felt something deeper for him. They understood each other so perfect. She wasn´t able to explain it. The only thing she could come up with was the notion of soul mates.

For the first time in her life she believed that she and Carlisle are meant to be.

She reminded the second half of the year, everything that happened and she loved it. Her life changed completely and she didn´t regret it at all.

She was so grateful that she let the Cullens get in her life, one of them also to steal her heart and make her fall for him so deep. She never believed this would be even possible after she married Derek.

She moved back from her thoughts when Carlisle was talking to her.

She didn´t seem to pay attention and therefore he moved his hand in front of her eyes which made smile at him:

„ Sorry…..I was just….."

„Dreaming?"

„Kind of…..reviewing my past year….."

„ Well, there´s a lot to think of then…."

„I don´t want to remember sad things…"

He caressed her cheek: „ Love, the future will be much better….. believe me…."

She nodded: „ I hope so….just the two months here with you made us the happiest….I have never thought I could experience this….."

He smiled: „ This is kind of new for me too….."

She didn´t understand why he says this but she didn´t want to question him.

He checked the watch, it was already after nine.

The afternoon ran away so quickly. Ellen wanted to check for Patty but suddenly she noticed that Edward was bringing Patricia upstairs. She must have been tired, the whole day was so hectic.

Carlisle handed his hand to Ellen: „ Would you like to dance?"

„ Are you really sure about that?"

„Yes? I don´t see a problem….."

„ I am not so sure…."

„Let´s try first…." She didn´t know what she planned but she was surprised when he was holding her up that she was hugging him but didn´t touch the floor. She laughed and whispered in his ear: „ I like this…." He kissed her ear and moved his lips closer to her laughing ones. He wanted to pulled away when the song finished but another ballade followed and so he didn´t have break their tight hug. And it was becoming too much for him. His head was full of ideas of taking her upstairs. But he knew it wasn´t the best time. The whole family was here and with the super sensitive vampire hearing he didn´t want the whole family to witness them. And before something intimate happens between them, he needs to tell her everything. He owes it to her. She deserves to know. But Ellen´s passionate kisses were getting harder for him to bear. His hardly gained self-control was becoming useless when being with his true mate. And she really was his. He knew that. Suddenly the slow music was replaced by the rock song and the couples moved back on the seats. Carlisle had to laugh in his mind. It was the exact timing. He wasn´t sure how long he would resist his resolution. Luckily it was dark in the room only with color lights on.

He hugged her around the shoulders and handed her a bowl with popcorn. She ate it and gave one in his mouth. He ate it and noticed the funny looks of his kids.

Few moments before the midnight Alice sent the boys outside. All girls took the jackets and Bella handed Ellen the crutches.

She didn´t understand but Alice was already helping her in front of the house. They got outside and Ellen saw all men standing in front of the house and waiting for a sign from Alice. Carlisle came to Ellen and hugged her from behind: „ Surprise…."

She saw Alice counting and everyone joined her soon…. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 -Happy New Year…." Carlisle kissed her passionately and added: „ Happy New Year Ellie….I love you…."

She touched his cold cheek: „ Happy New Year to you too…..thank you for everything you did for me in the previous year…..I love you too….."

He laughed: " I promise that future will be much better...this is just a beginning..." He hugged her tight and kissed her again. After a second he heard the whistling noise and involuntarily moved back. The others wanted to hug Ellen too. Ellen laughed and enjoyed this moment. It was so wonderful to be in this amazing family and know that they all regard her as a close friend, as a part of the family. She loved the idea.

When they were finished with the hugging, Alice clapped: „ Now…let´s start with it…." After few moments they could see a beautiful firework just front of the house. Ellen stared and watched it. That was something amazing. She was silent and almost forgot to close her mouth sometimes. At one moment Carlisle used this and kissed her. He knew that if they hadn´t been with the company, she would have been already laying in his arms on the snow. She was so adorable.

Ellen was watching everything and enjoyed it. DShe only worried that this noise wouldn´t wake up Patricia. When they finished, Ellen decided to head to bed. She was suddenly incredibly tired and wanted to spend the night sleeping. She knew she has the last chance for a good night sleep. On monday she starts work again.

She wished to all a good night and was upstairs before Carlisle returned back from outside. He was cleaning the mess with other men. But Ellen knew she would fall asleep in any minute therefore she begged Bella for help upstairs.
